Daily Kabbalah Tip

Advice in the daily Kabbalah lesson is recommended, practical tasks for advancing spiritually

Transformation

Add
desire to bestowal, discover spiritual reality

We
need to discover about ourselves that we are only desire, the desire for
pleasure only. I am not able to do anything, not to determine anything, not to
see, not to think, etc., if it's not from within my desire to receive, if I
don't find a self benefit in it.

All
of reality is placed before us, everything there is, and we don't see it and
don't feel it since we feel only what is good for our desire to receive. If we
transform and allow the desire to bestow, then we will feel a different world.

The
desire to receive is not cancelled; it doesn't disappear. The reality as we
presently know it, with the physical body, remains. But above the desire to
receive I acquire the desire to bestow. To the extent that the desire to bestow exists, to the extent of its size,
I reveal the reality of the spiritual world.

Daily Kabbalah Definition

Necessity
is when we, ourselves, don't want to receive more because we want our
compensation for the things that we give up, to be a spiritual compensation. In
the wisdom of Kabbalah, it's not called, from Above, that we limit
ourselves.

Necessity
is when I yearn for spirituality and I can be spiritual, but I forget that I
need to receive one thousand calories a day for my body to exist. For example:
A cow that eats from the morning until night, and all the time chews, if you
give it cakes instead of grass, it won't eat because it needs what its body
requires. Also with us, it needs to be that way. If your head is in the clouds,
in spirituality, then your body doesn't require more anyway and you will take
it because you need it in order to survive, in order to provide for your
spirituality, for your intention. It could be that according to your role, you
need a car, ten body guards, servants, and one hundred suits. But, you don't need this on a personal
level. You are measured only according
to your intention.
